40417 November 18, 1996 American Research Corporation of Virginia This project addresses the hazardous waste problem at Department of Energy sites by developing a new class of ultrafiltration membranes for use in corrosive aqueous or organic streams. These membranes will utilize mesoporous ceramics, which have narrow pore size distributions and tailorabl ...

41292 November 19, 1996 FM Technologies, Inc. A radically new type of particle accelerator, a multiturn recirculating linac operating with space-charge dominated beam currents, has received considerable attention during the last few years. Even with severe limits on the number of turns, the concept potentially offers major cost reductions for a very high ...

41299 November 19, 1996 FM Technologies, Inc. In the Relativistic Klystron Two-Beam Accelerator, which is currently under development, power from a low-energy, high-current, bunched beam is converted to micro-waves via the klystron mechanism and used to provide power for a high-energy linac, specifically a future Next Linear Collider upgrade to l.0 TeV. ...

41307 November 20, 1996 FM Technologies, Inc. High current electron pulses of short duration could be widely used in injector systems for electron accelerators, which have application in industry, medicine, and research. This project will develop a micro pulse electron injector system which is less complex, cumbersome, and expensive than existing systems ...

AN EXPERIMENTAL, THEORETICAL, AND NUMERICAL PROGRAM IS PLANNED TO DEVELOP AND STUDY A NOVEL, HIGH-POWER MICROWAVE SOURCE, THE COLLECTIVE INTERACTION KLYSTRON (CIK). THIS DEVICE PROMISES TO BE A HIGHLY EFFICIENT, COMPACT SOURCE IN THE 1- TO 10-GHZ RANGE, AND ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS THAT EXTEND THE OPERATION TO HIGHER FREQUENCIES ARE POSSIBLE. LINEAR THEORY PREDICTS VERY HIGH GROWTH RATES AND STRON ...

40735 November 13, 1996 Pacific-Sierra Research Corporation Electrical cables used in nuclear power plants are subjected to radiation and thermal stresses which degrade the condition of the insulation material. In-situ non-destructive testing methods are needed to perform cable condition monitoring and remaining life-assessment. Oxidation Induction Time ...

40169 W. Peter Trower Applications such as medical tomography, x-ray defectometry, and metallurgical processing require high resolution spectrometric detectors. At present, the desired resolution can only be achieved using germanium crystals cooled to cryogenic temperatures, conditions which severely limit applicability. This project will develop x-ray and gamma-ray detectors that operate at r ...
